The project, sold by Content, blurs the lines between reality and fiction in the story of a screenwriter and professor who is implicated in the murder of a mysterious young woman. The film is produced by Vito Di Rosa and executive produced by Future Film’s Carola Ash.

Content’s Jamie Carmichael said: “Mike is a master director of this kind of controversial and intense material and we’re are extremely excited to be working with him, Vito, Sebastian and Lotte on this incredibly beautiful psychological thriller”.
